Ever since buying a "re-Chargable" battery pak for Wii Fit it takes off more weight than should be (approx 3.7KG more). The Wii Fit has been working great up until the Battery pak. Strange thing is,

My Wii Fit has been working perfect for atleast 6 months but ever since going to the "re-chargable" battery pak for the Wii it takes off atleast 3.7KG extra. Good for the self asteem but its clearly having problems since the battery pak being attatched. Strange enough, it has this problem on carpet but i go over on tiles and then it goes back to the weight i should be. Is it the Battery pak that is causing this?

Yes, it's completely normal. To avoid this, try to take the BMI test at the same time everyday. If you have a big meal in between the weights, it might say that.Also, the batteries on the board may be running low. Try with some new ones and see if the problem persist.Also, try keeping the Wii Balance board on a flat hard surface, such as the floor. Do not use it on thick carpets since it might report bad measurements.Hope this helps.

Wii fit asks this every few days at the start of the training, especially if your weight changes drastically. Try this:Use your Mii but instead of weighting yourself, ask someone alse to do the BMI test for you. If the weight is dramatically different, Wii fit will ask you to change your goal.Hope this helps.

Mad Catz is not licensed by Nintendo and WILL cause all kinds of problems.If you can return it still,please do it.You need items which are licensed by Nintendo(very few are) or are Nintendo brand.I used to repair Nintendos for a full time job and have seen it many times over.Sorry to break bad news.Good luck and game on!

Had the same problem. It's a sync problem.
First, best to double check you have fresh batteries.
Next, turn the board upside down and remove the cover from the battery compartment.
Open the small hatch cover on the front of your console unit.
Now start wii fit from the disk menu item.
Next, press the small red button inside the balance board battery compartment. The blue lights will blink for approx 3=5 sec.
While they are blinking, press the red button on the console (in the hatch compartment).
This should re-sync your board and the light stays lit.
Good luck.

A Wii balance board is not a re-chargable piece of hardware... it's battery powered. You can buy re-chargable battaries and recharge them every time your power runs out (if you really want re-charge capability). Otherwise you can just buy new batteries and replace the old ones when you run out of power.

Guest: Rechargable batteries are only 1.2 V each. You should get up to 4.8 V.

I highly suggest running your Wii Fit on nothing other than Alkaline batteries. I've had my Wii Fit for over 3 months and still use the original batteries.

If you feel like you need rechargables, that's fine, but I recommend a quality set of regular AA rechargable batteries that comes with a quick charger (IE: 1-hour). Stick to the same brand of batteries and buy enough for each Wii-Mote, Wireless Guitar, Wii Fit Balance Board, etc.

Amy - Keep in mind that your Wii Fit balance board will ONLY turn on when your program (ie: Wii Fit) is loaded and ready to go. Since the balance board takes up one of the four available Wii-Mote channels, make sure all but one Wii-Mote is turned off before starting Wii-Fit.
